What I like of G1: QWERT keyboard.
What I like of G2: 288MB RAM
Does the bigger RAM offer a bigger performance promotion? Someone said the 288MB RAM makes G2 more stable and faster than G1.
What is your opinion,my buddies,which one is better?
depends what you like, my G1 is stable and fast with my current rom, a stock magic feels a bit faster as a stock dream IMO, but i'd never give away my keyboard :O

I just can't used to the G1 or G2 screen, I am a long time Windows Mobile PPC fan and like my fingernail a lot
So a QWERT keyboard will be better, but don't know the performance of G2, I think the performance is more important during the long run.

when u say g2.... what are u referring to..
the only phone that is officially called the g2 is the g2 touch(aka htc hero) for tmobile UK
Most likely he's talking about MT3g. I love the G1. I can't see myself without a physical keyboard. Depends on what you are going to do with the phone. Heavy on texts and emails and the such, like me, qwerty keyboard FTW.
I'm waiting for the real G2 for TMO. Hopefully something fresh, with a qwerty and more ram (plus a flash would be nice) will comeout next year.
I own both running the same rom, there no real noticeable difference in speed and performance between the two, except battery life. The MT3G has excellent battery life on the stock battery. My G1 has to use the fat extended life batt to get me through the day, which makes the phone thick and has that "brick look". I also prefer the MT3G cause its thinner and nicer looking. I use taskiller on both phones to keep the RAM free.

ok i will break it down for everyone
g2 touch is the only phone officially called the g2..
its tmobile UK branded htc hero
it has 512 ROM(internal mem)
and 288mb RAM
5mp cam
3.5mm headphone jack
the unlocked htc magic and rogers branded magic :
use the 32a board
512mb of ROM
288mb of RAM
3.2mp cam
the tmobile US mytouch 3g and vodaphone branded magic:
use the 32b board
192mb RAM
512mb of ROM
3.2mp cam
the tmobile g1 and htc dream
basically the same phone except one is unlocked and one is sim locked.
192mb RAM
256mb ROM
3.2mp cam
more RAM does help the phone run faster,and smoother. but also make sure not too many apps are running in the background.

i recommend using some kind of task manager. this wil really help free up RAM being used by applications that you dont want running in the background.
i use task panel... it doesnt run i the backgound like some other task managers,and it shows how much ram is actually free.

I transitioned well coming from the G1 thanks in part of the HTC_IME keyboard I used(never really used the hard keys anymore) I just wanted a more lighter phone and battery life is sure is better than the G1 on stock batts compared to upgrading to an aftermarket one. Proc is the same but you get more ram and rom.
All myTouches Boards are 32B main diff IMO is the ram, you get more from the 32A.
But when comparing to Cyanogen's Roms on the G1 and stock myTouch there is only a very very slight improvement on the myTouch in opening apps so I can just imagine if I have root.
An advice I give my friends if they want to upgrade is that if they are sure they can use a phone without hard keyboard and a lengthy process to root for now.
I went from a G1 to a MyTouch and so did my girlfriend. We are both really frustrated with the virtual keyboard. Not only is it really laggy after installing about 20 apps, but you have to get used to the fact that it's going to obstruct the view of webpages, chats, and whatever else you want to view when typing. The lag is especially bad if you are receiving a text or chat, or your phone is syncing while typing.
The other downside is that there is absolutely no improvement in the processor. So, all of the crappy lag that you had on a stock G1 is going to be on the MT as well.
That being said, the improved battery is incredible. Its a lot sleeker and lighter and sexier. Oh and the speaker is a bit louder. Yet, with all the frustration, (sometimes, I seriously want to throw it) I am having a hard time deciding to give it up. I think I will just root and unlock it and sell it on eBay or something. We'll see if the potential money will make it worth selling. Really, it all depends on whether or not the HERO ROMs run any better.
EDIT: @crxtasi can you post a link to that HTC_IME.apk? That could be just what I need!

check out my sig for the link. but yeah the google keyboard sucks ass that's why Im really happy that even without root I got it on my MT but you will still need to go thru all the things you said about half the screen being the VK but I've lived to adjust to it ever since my G1.
on the other hand if you wanna get rid of it let me know
I made the change & it was absolutely no problem for me.. But I had also switched to using the HTC keyboard on my g1 so I Wasn't using the hard keyboard much if at all.. Ultimately the upgrade is technically not an upgrade.. Its a downgrade.. You get nothing new, but you loose the hard keyboard..
That being said I Would not go back to my g1 from my mytouch either.. I Did the sleeker form factor & how much better it fits in my pocket now.. Also the battery life is WAY better.. Both have there advantages & both are excellent phones.. Just a matter of your preference on typing & Since I prefer the Compact Qwerty method since I had my old touch diamond it was a no brainier change for me..
so it does have more ram? 96mb vs. how much does g1 have?
thanks for all the quick and helpful responses guys

Hi,
I have a myTouch and an HTC Magic. For some reason, the myTouch weighs more.
It's not huge on paper. 114 vs 120, but it makes a noticeable difference in the hand.
Shouldn't they be the same, except for the additional ram on the Magic?
perhaps the sheer stupidity necessary to offer a tmobile version of the magic with only 2/3 of the ram is whats weighing down the disappointing device (no im not bitter...anybody want to buy a week-old mytouch? please?)

I think the rom memory was the big thing and they at least addressed that.
On the bright side, the mytouch comes in a much spiffier packaging.
I think you'll find that it's the 32A which is heavier, not the 32b..
I don't know exactly why, but I know what you mean... the 32a is noticeably heavier

No,
My Rogers HTC Magic is about 6 grams lighter than my T-Mobile myTouch.
I guess this may not be the case for all 32As.
Do you have a scale?
have you weighted without batteries, to check if difference comes from it ?
A little soon... but any time frame on when we *might* be able to get an XDA hack/ROM to get the Desire's Sense on the Nexus?
I'm not a huge fan of having something on top of the OS to slow things down, but this implementation of Sense looks really cool...
http://www.engadget.com/photos/htc-desire-first-hands-on/#2713786
Now that the Desire is official I don't think it'll be too long or too difficult a port....just got to sit tight a little...
Would be great! ^^
and bring on the FM radio!
i want it soooo badly!
Ugh, i just dont understand the desire (no pun intended lol) people have for sense.
Now that standard android widgets have started becoming full-screen, why slow yourself down with a clunky interface...
It is better than the god-awful cube that samsung has though.
+1. Sense UI to me is annoying.
I wouldn't mind the HTC Bravo/Desire's vibrant rainbow wallpaper though..
There are a few parts of the HTC UI that would be nice to have. Phone Dialer, Clock, and Keyboard for instance... Also, the N1 is a way faster phone than the other phones that have HTC Sense. So, you might not even tell a difference.
When the first sense ui was leaked the Hero wasn't even released. So maybe we wouldn't have to wait for the Desire to be released. I just want the high res keyboard and maybe test how fast (slow) the extra ui layer is on N1. It slowed my Magic to a grinding hault. Maybe Nexus can handle more..
Sense on my magic actually ran super fast. .. the dialer and HTC ime are the huge winners for me. .. I'm really looking forward to sense on my nexus. .. anybody look into samsungs new wave?

HTC Sense won't be slow on the N1 you seem to forget that it has a 1GHz Snapdragon and 512 ram. It's not going to be like it was on the G1.

Oops you're right - Ram is 512MB but Rom is same as Desire at 512MB also.
I think that extra RAM is specifically for running Sense UI....It ll be really good to have the option to get Sense UI onboard N1 at some stage. the Exchange support in Sense has always been better, so is the social networking integration, as well as little touches such as the calendar widget.
I am actually rather tempted to switch to Desire from Nexus One, missing the convenience of Sense from the good old Hero.
The Extra ram is just to make u buy another piece of hard hehe
I have right now on my nexus arround 300mb of ram free, i think we dont need 76 more of ram to run Sense

I don't understand HTC's failure to make some money off sense ui! Make it for all capable models and sell it off the site for $9.00 like apple did with the software upgrade on the iPod touch! I mean I would buy it if it was optimized and available for the nexus.
I know a lot of remorse periods are coming to an end. Is anyone considering returning their g2 and getting the Mytouch HD once its released??

Yeah. No way... I had enough of cheap, plasticy phones when I replaced my MyTouch Slide with the G2. The only difference is the FFC (which isn't wide spread enough for me to care about) and the lack of keyboard (not a positive although if you really care.. its a bit thinner). Plus, the bloated, expresso garbage (the worst form of sense ui, ever). Not a good choice unless you're a tweener, lol

The genius button isn't too bad once it remapped to search button. Then you can map a long press to another app like a led flashlight or task manager. Basically, its the same guts as the G2 only no kb and add a ffc. It would a stupid upgrade from a G2. Waste of money, imo.

No it does not have the same guts as the G2. It features the 1Ghz MSM8255 chip which is substantially faster than the G2's MSM7230. Its not the same chip overclocked to 1Ghz; its an entirely different chip. Its the same one found in the Desire HD.

heck no. having played with my wife's MT Slide, im not impressed with the plasticy feel of the phone or the terrible sense UI. the only thing this new mytouch has going for it is a bigger screen. the front camera is useless unless you know others with a front camera (i dont).
I personally, am going to check out the new mytouch. When reviewed by engadget, the build quality was said to be very solid, with the same metal accents the g2 has. The front facing camera would be great for chatting with my daughter in georgia, I rarely use the keyboard on my g2(I was using my nexus one previously), and as soon as it's rooted I'll be switching to vanilla android with launcherpro anyways.
So what's the big deal? I don't buy a device for what it does, but rather for what it CAN DO.
Had I known about the new mytouch sooner, I would have waited. Now my 14 days are up and I'll have to sell/trade my g2.
As a side note: if anyone is going to be buying the g2 as new service or as an upgrade, get in touch with me. Maybe we can work something out where you get the new mytouch instead and I give you my flawless g2 and pay the difference.
Won't be trading mine. This g2 is hot. Haha. the damn thing is fast as hell at 800mhz. I played with the droid x and droid 2. The speed of the g2 eats them alive and I think those are 1ghz phones? I could be wrong

Optimization is key here. If anyone here has done anything with motorsports you know this very well. All the aftermarket parts in the world won't make you go faster without the proper tune. 1ghz means nothing if the code doesn't use it properly. This is why the g2 runs so well. The right hardware, coupled with a vanilla OS with no customizations.
I will be getting one to go along with my G2. I've actually held the new MyTouch and it is not plastic or cheaply built. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how nice it was, I just wish there was no Genius button as well.

If the MyTouch is the North American version of the HD, I would suspect the G2 would be an overall better performer. Here is my reasoning, take it how you will:
The 1ghz scorpion that the Desire HD uses has a less powerful GPU than the 800 mhz processor the G2 and Desire Z use. Additionally, the g2 has a larger battery than the Desire HD despite the HD's larger screen ( 1,300mAh battery on G2 vsthe Desire HD features a 1230mAh ) which could suggest the need for more power under the hood despite lower clock speed.
Many have suggested that the 800mghz is deliberately underlocked and the fact that there is now an OC that doesnt require whole new kernel would suggest that this is true.
My personal take: going on pure processing specs alone (and assuming the MyTouch HD/4g is the same as the Desire HD under the hood) then the g2 is the clear winner.
Going on product design, it really depends on whether you want an FFC or a hardware keyboard.
Going on aesthetics i think the g2 wins - even if the MyTouch build quality is high, it still has a toylike look.
I suspect at the end of the day, out of the box the g2 runs faster w/ a better battery life given stock android, faster gpu, and smaller screen. It remains to be seen what root will do to these two devices and how the current g2 OC affects battery life.
I also suspect that if the g2 and mytouch ere to get gingerbread (unconfirmed), it would come slightly faster to the g2 OTA given that sense would not have to be ported.

I still have 6 days left and I'm loving the G2 so far that I don't think it'd be worth it to get the MT HD. A lot of my friends have the iPhone 4 and they rarely use the FFC, and I doubt I would too. And coming from a iPhone 3G I'm loving the physical keyboard.
I miss android, the way it handles everything, still remember when one user wrote reboot and we found root back in the G1 days.

Not really...
A G2 running at 1Ghz will out-perform a G2 running at stock 800mhz 100% of the time (on CPU-bound operations), on 100% of devices. There is no hand-tuning for one particular speed.
Don't give HTC this much credit. All they do is take ASOP code and code in their little hacks to lock down the device. In the grand scheme of things, they know very little about tuning an OS to a particular piece of hardware.

HTC builds their devices to the specs of their customers (mainly carriers), if their customers don't want to dig deep in their pockets for HTC to build the proper drivers, HTC isn't going to waste resources on something their customers has not asked for.

1ghz processor. although it'll prob be like 1.2 by the time i upgrade. i dont see the point in having a dual core processor in a phone.. id rather do that much multi taskin with a tablet.. which i'll have by the end of this year im sure. im itchin for one... bad. =]
8mp camera with flash would be nice.
and keyboard..
im sure the whole keyboard thing will make my options pretty slim.. but i have faith in good ol htc to keep me a strong fanboy.

Jajajaja, it is a sexy thing for sure dude the phones that can compare is the surround but it lacks a keyboard, and the G2 made the sidekick 09 (suposely the sexiest thing according to sidekick feens) look horrendous lmaooo, the sophisticated industrial look, the aluminum finishes, the trackpad the keyboard (whoa I couldn't believe it, is way better than any of the sidekicks keyboards for sure), and to think I was such a sidekick fanboy but I sure regret it, tell me how I use to think the sidekick was the best thing in the world even better than any android phone lmao, till this day I slap my self for saying that everytime I think about how sexy my G2 is!!!!

Actually, it is rumored to be the "Mytouch 4g Slide"
Literally just read the article on Android and Me.

Mytouch series is nice too, after the G series that would be my choice if I had no other options

lol I have been thinking about ditching the G2 for a MT4g because I never use the keyboard.
How does that thing run after rooting and getting rid of the bloatware?

I don't know much about it but it has the same GPU as the G2 so it is just as good processor wise only diference is that the chips have different processing speeds 800mhz on the G2 and 1ghz on the mytouch it is faster than the G2 whitout root but once they have the same processing speed there is no difference, oh and also the mytouch has more RAM I think its somewhere in the 700s mb, whereas the G2 has 512mb which is a plus on the mytouch, and they both have 4GB internal mem, although as we know it froyo only allows 2GB of use, which boggles my mind because idk why we have 4GB if we can't use all of it. And if your wanting to get a dual core mytouch 4G slide I suggest yu wait and see what this htc doubleshot is, tbh I think it may the the 4G slide, give it a couple of more months dude

Sounds good, either way, just as I waited for the G2 to upgrade from my G1, I won't be getting rid of my G2 until something like a G3 does come along. Only improvements I really want are dual core, better speakers, superior gpu, bigger screen if possible and a front facing camera. Everything else is nice but I love my G2 as it is

That what you described would be the perfect G3, dude dual core, FFC, 3.7 or bigger screen, 3.8" is perfect IMO, but wouldn't mind 3.7" or 4" STFT lcd, and of course a higher resolution screen like the QHD on the evo 3D on 3.8 screen would be the sharpest most beautiful screen in the world damn!, what more can you ask on a phone lmaooo

You might want to rethink about that.
I had mytouch 4g but got rid of it.
It just have way too many qc issues not sure if you want to go through all the exchanging program
1.lights leak
2.half of the device comes with washed out screen check their general thread more info. Or search for Goodscreen vs badscreen on youtube.
3. Squeaky sound when the buttons are pressed
4.typical htc qc issue, dust under screen dead pixcel
5. Front facing camera off centered. U have to tilt the device to get your device in the center and if you have one of the washed out screen well... not so good
6. There is more but i dont remember.

Typically when light comes out of a edge or button.
